What are your solutions for cozy, comfortable camping with your SO?
Have almost always camped by myself. Use an inflatable backpacking pad. Bought one for the GF also but planned on using that for backpacking.
Bought a fancy 10x10 tent, now looking for a comfortable sleeping set up.
Cots-my first option but the GF is complaining because she "can't cuddle up". The two person cot still has a bar in the middle that sorta separates you both. I will still buy a cot for camping by myself.
Inflatable Air Mattress- we have two separates ones we have inherited some how. Because of our weight difference I wind up with my shoulder and hip on the ground. Her side is super inflated and she rolls over on me. I weigh 260lbs, she weighs 130. Can't figure out a solution for this one other than some sort of baffled mattress that separates the air
Foam Topper-have a couple of cheap, foam egg crate and topper types foam pads I bought from Walmart. Used them in the back of my truck and they slept well but quickly became dirty. Couldn't find a suitable cover and was pretty large rolled up. Looking at spending a little more $$ and get a thicker single mattress topper but would have to find a cover to keep from it getting ruined by the dirt and the back of my truck.
Backpacking pads plus Foam Topper-would use the backpacking inflatable pads under a foam topper. The Thermarest DreamTime is sorta like that. Not paying $200 x2 though.
Well that is the four options I have looked. How are you all sleeping together with your significant other when you are car camping? Thanks for any ideas!
